FULL HOUSE
by Neo Blaqness
Do you ever wonder
like I do
had we met
before I became me
and you became you
bound to the places
our lives have
brought us to
and all the ups
and downs that
we have come through
would there really
be a chance
for a me and you
instead of this dance
around the truth
that this glance
of romance
that fell out
of the blue
cannot withstand
the man and children
you already committed to
despite the things
about him
you already knew
now glued
to be true to him
because you weren’t
true to you
at a time when
you believed
your options
were few
and lacked faith
in yourself
and
you know who
sometimes
it’s not about
the cards
you were dealt
but the ones
you drew
